December 14, 2011
First Shore Federal Savings & Loan and David F. Rodgers Memorial Fund donated $10,000 to support the Community Foundation of the Eastern Shore’s Help Your Neighbor Fund.
First Shore Federal Savings & Loan established a memorial fund in honor of former Board Chairman, President and CEO David F. Rodgers. A very generous man, Rodgers supported small nonprofit organizations that provided direct support to those most in need in local communities. According to Marty Neat, CEO and President of First Shore Federal Savings and Loan, “Dave Rodgers cared deeply about our community and I can think of no better way to remember him than to help people in need.”
The Help Your Neighbor Fund provides financial support to organizations serving families and seniors in Somerset, Wicomico, and Worcester Counties who need assistance paying utility bills, purchasing food and medical prescriptions.
